Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View restaurant in Falmouth, Cornwall, was looking to refresh its tableware to better reflect its coastal, high-quality menu. They transitioned from standard white plates to the Steelite Craft White collection to create a more memorable, premium feel for their diners.
"This Steelite Craft White double well porcelain serving stand has been a brilliant addition. Our seafood starters and dipping sauces look so much more appealing now. Customers constantly comment on the quality of the crockery, which adds to their whole experience."
Robert Davies – Owner
Following the tableware upgrade, the restaurant noted a tangible uplift in customer feedback scores related to presentation and a 10% increase in appetiser sales.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unbox and inspect each piece for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- We recommend running all new crockery through a full dishwasher cycle before its first use to ensure it's perfectly clean.
- When stacking for storage, do so carefully. For long-term storage, consider using plate separators or felt liners to protect the glaze.
Keeping It Going
- To prolong its life, try to rinse off acidic or strongly coloured food residue before washing.
- Use a reputable commercial detergent in your dishwasher and avoid abrasive scouring pads which can cause fine scratches.
- While incredibly durable, always handle with care to prevent accidental drops onto hard surfaces.
- The vitrified body prevents water absorption, ensuring it dries quickly and remains hygienic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What exactly is Alumina Vitrified Ceramic?
A: It's a high-quality ceramic that has been fired to become non-porous (vitrified) and strengthened with alumina oxide, making it exceptionally durable and resistant to chipping and thermal shock.
Q: Is every piece in the Craft White collection identical?
A: No. Each piece is finished with a unique glaze effect that is applied by hand, meaning there are subtle, deliberate variations that add to its rustic charm and authenticity.
Q: Can I use this saucer under a heat lamp or in a plate warmer?
A: Absolutely. Being oven safe and thermal shock resistant, it's perfectly suited for use in professional plate warmers and under heat lamps to keep food at the perfect serving temperature.
Q: What does 'thermal shock resistance' actually mean for my kitchen?
A: It means you can take the saucer from a hot environment (like an oven or dishwasher) to a cold one (like a fridge) without the risk of it cracking or shattering from the sudden temperature change.
Q: Will the glaze get scratched by steak knives or other cutlery?
A: Steelite's glaze is exceptionally hard and designed for commercial use, offering superior resistance to scratches from everyday cutlery.
Q: What is the benefit of a double well design?
A: It's perfect for presentation, allowing you to serve two separate items neatly on one dish, such as a dip alongside a solid item, or two different sauces, without them mixing.
Q: Is the base of the saucer smooth?
A: Yes, Steelite crockery has a fully glazed, smooth base to prevent it from scratching table surfaces or other plates when stacked.
Q: How many items are in a box?
A: This product is supplied in a box containing 36 saucers, making it ideal for kitting out a commercial establishment.

Explore more from SteeliteWhy Alumina Vitrified Ceramic Is a Chef's Best Friend
Ever wondered what makes some crockery so much tougher than others? The secret here is 'Alumina Vitrified Ceramic'. Let's break that down. 'Vitrified' simply means the ceramic has been fired at such a high temperature that it becomes non-porous, like glass. This is why it's so resistant to stains and doesn't absorb moisture or odours. Then comes the 'Alumina' – it's a super-hard oxide that's added to the clay. Think of it like adding carbon fibre to a sports car; it dramatically increases the strength and chip resistance without adding bulk. The result is crockery that has the delicate, premium look of fine china but the resilience needed to survive the knocks, scrapes, and temperature shocks of a professional kitchen. It's elegance, engineered to last.
